Thank you for the post. It's the kind of reflection I hope to inspire.

A couple immediate thoughts:

1. Overall, I think if the choice is between producing pieces or nothing, then it's clear.

2. Creating self-contained stories or essays is also crucial to honing our abilities.

3. My argument is aspirational, even (or perhaps mainly) for myself. I made it to make people look beyond each piece and see if there are connections to be made, themes to be discovered, and links to be forged. There may or may not be, but the act of looking for them is what counts, if there are any links to ever be discovered in the present or the future.

4. Our lives may well be the ultimate masterpieces, as our minds are the only thing linking all of our experiences together.
